The MAX202CDWR is a high-quality, advanced, and reliable product from Texas Instruments, a leading global semiconductor company.

• Type: dual driver/receiver
• Feature: includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply EIA-232 voltage levels from a single 5-V supply. Each receiver converts EIA-232 inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS levels. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V and a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V.
• Characterized Operation: characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C
• Data rate: operate @ a maximum of 120 kbps.
• Application: designed for RS-232 data interface applications, which makes it ideal for a wide range of uses, including telecommunications, data transmission, and industrial equipment.
• Power consumption: operates from a single 5-V power supply, which makes it highly efficient and cost-effective.
• Design: The device also features two drivers and two receivers, which provide a high degree of flexibility and functionality. The drivers are short-circuit current limited and are protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that places the driver outputs into a high-impedance state.
• Package: packaged in a standard 16-pin SOIC package, making it compact and easy to install.
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection: ESD protection exceeding JESD 22, 2000-V Human-Body Model (A114-A), 200-V Machine Model (A115-A), and 1000-V Charged-Device Model (C101).
• Compliance: RoHS compliant, which means it is produced with minimal impact on the environment and is safe for use. The product is also lead-free.
